This trail follows a section of the old Letterkenny to Burtonport railway line in a spectacularly remote area with marvellous vistas of bogland, mountain, farmland and the wider north coast of Donegal, all on a solid surface, passing under Muckish Mountain, by Lough Agher and many attractive railway artefacts such as bridges, pillars and station houses.

Lovely easy trail wirh great views. It was very wet in places after all the rain we had lately. There are sheep roaming on and around the trail and signs saying no dogs allowed along the trail.
